Can anyone help me with doing spot color separation on a design that I was suppose to deliver today. I did separation but they tell me that it must be spot color instead of process color. Does this mean anything to you. I have gone to help and still can't understand it. Thank you
 
Spot color is usually a pantone matching system (PMS) color. Process is four-color, or (CMYK) cyan, magenta, yellow & black.

Is your design multiple colors? Is is multiple in addition to normal CMYK? 2-color? We would need a little more info to tell you how to proceed, but you will have to designate PMS colors to the colors in your design. these colors usually have such cool designations as 3105U or 678C. The U and the C let you know whether it is coated or uncoated. You can actually leave the U or C off.. the numbers designate the color.

Then when you do the separation, all seps will be black on the print-out, but each one will be for a different color. When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
